How to Prepare Fiber Optic Indoor/Outdoor Stranded Loose Tube Cable
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the preparation of fiber optic cables, including sheath removal, core preparation, and fiber preparation.
Estimated time: 1h
Tools needed:
Sheath Knife, Approved Cable Cutters, Needle Nose Pliers, Buffer Tube Removal Tool, Primary Coating Stripping Tool, Scissors/Snips
Supplies needed:
Clean Cotton Cloths, Tape Measure, Water Absorbent Tape, Binder Strings
- Remove the cable sheath
Using a sheath knife, ring the circumference of the sheath at the desired length (typically 6 feet or 2 meters from the end). Gently flex the cable at the ring cut to separate the sheath and remove it to expose the ripcord and cable core.
- Prepare the cable core
Cut the ripcord and unwrap the outer strength members. Remove any water absorbent tape and binder strings from around the buffer tubes. Separate the color-coded buffer tubes from the central strength member.
- Prepare the buffer tubes
Check the blade setting on the buffer tube removal tool by scoring a small section near the end of the tube. Measure and mark the length of the tube to be removed, then ring the tube in 1-2 ft sections and remove them until the desired amount of fiber is available.
- Access the optical fibers
Using scissors, cut the fibers to be terminated at the appropriate length. Strip the primary coating from the fibers using the primary coating stripping tool, and wipe with an alcohol-dampened cloth to remove any residual debris.
